どうしても · doushitemo · JLPT N3 · expression
no matter how hard one tries
💪 どう + しても = how + even if I do: whatever way I try, I will
どう means how, and しても means even if one does. Together they mean however it's done. With a positive verb it means at any cost (どうしても行きたい, I must go). With a negative verb it means it just won't work, no matter what.
